One of my hobbies is making niche science themed desserts! Here’s what i made for Chen’s thesis defense, for his work on improved localization precision for 3D microscopy. Brownies and blondies to celebrate!

I recently drew an a piece that shows the molecules found in whiskey. Vanillin, eugenol, and many other compounds give whiskey its unique flavor profile. Cheers to whiskey! 🥃 #ChemTwitter

Preprint alert! Dr. Xiaochen Tan (@tantanxts) and team demonstrate that real-time 3D single-particle tracking performance can be dramatically improved by replacing the piezoelectric stage with a high-speed galvo mirror. The plot below on tracking duration sums it up nicely!

Rihanna's performance last night was electric. Today I am further thrilled by my girl @GThomasPhD 's hot take on DEI. "Our systems should be redesigned to fit the wide diversity of people with the creativity, intelligence and passion for science. " ow.ly/y8ES50MRjK2
